Agree with the two above but also, if you're buying OEM I wouldn't talk with the parts dept of your local dealer. You can often find discounted OEM stuff online that is shipped from the dealers themselves. Air Filter Tacoma Subaru - $24.95 Subaru Parts - $19.76 $5.19 difference but if you scroll down towards the footer of the Subaru Parts website, you'll see that it's still Tacoma Subaru shipping it out. No idea why they do this but I've had to purchase a backup radar sensor thing for my Crosstrek once. They said it failed and I scheduled a time to get it replaced but mentioned I'd bring the part in myself. They said they wouldn't warranty it since they don't know where it came from but I showed them the box (still sealed) and the sender was their parts department. Service Advisor laughed it off and said they'll warranty it haha.

Might want to either ask in the Mountain West sub or FB group since it looks like that sub has been quiet for a bit. for the doggo pic.

I haven't been there personally since I live more toward the Tacoma area but if you're recommending AWD Auto I can add them on there. I wouldn't feel torn on mentioning Drive Auto Sports judging by your experience and unhappiness, I just wouldn't recommend them haha.

Thanks for the rec! @NORULZleggy mentioned them as well earlier but always nice to see multiple members stand behind a company.

Six Star Motorsports added in, thanks for the rec!

Appreciate the recommendations! All shops added but since Quantum Tuning doesn't have a physical address I added in gmail contact in the notes/desc section.

Reliability is up in the air if previous owner doesn't have maintenance records. The stage 2 clutch has me raising an eyebrow. I'd assume it was upgraded to handle something more than a stock engine at some point but unless you have history, it's only a guess. Like @ehsnilssuggested i'd take it to get compression tested and fully inspected.

Added in TPG Tuning and Sendell Subaru . Six Star is already listed but added a second thumbs up for your rec.

Ah ok, thanks for clearing it up. Their shop only opened in 2020 so I thought the timeline a bit odd. Ryan the main tech there was known for his quality work so I was worried haha.

Got NVAuto added in, thanks for the recommendation.

You never know! I My brother's tuner charges him less for revisions but it's the same tuner he's had since his first mod.

You have a coupe? Agree with Boxkita on researching the stickies and Pleides bout replacing you engine soon. Engine knocking is not a good sign and 3-4qts in 2k miles sounds excessive.

You need a tune. I'm not mechanically inclined but pretty much everything I've found regarding going FMIC says it's needed because you changed airflow. You can get a tune now for it and revision for turbo.

Which cubby pod did you get? I know some cubby pods don't work with the door.

Hey all, with the ok from JmP6889928 and SBT I cobbled everyone's recommendations so far into a Google Map. Hope this makes it easier to sift through and find a shop if you're ever in need of services. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1Aoywm-JiHpdw24a8gb1kq5yakisM9UxH&usp=sharing I'll update as more recommendations roll in.

The Mod Garage 1148 Industry Dr Tukwila, WA 98188 https://themodgarage.com/ Originally purchased just parts from them but they opened a shop and do just about everything from installs to rebuilds. Sidenote, not sure if you'd be interested JmP6889928 but I've done maps for my employer in the past. Nothing fancy but puts all the info in one spot if that makes the search for a shop nearby easier (sample below). I'm down to continue it with your blessing. I'm not much of a gearhead so 'tis bout the only way I can help out https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1Aoywm-JiHpdw24a8gb1kq5yakisM9UxH&usp=sharing
